A few photos of recent work. Front and rear wishbones are nearing completion. Interior work is taking shape, trying to get as much work finished on the shell so I can strip it and get it primed. Will probably order the wheels this week. Once they are here, approx 8 weeks, I can weld the brackets on for the rear dampers.I want to keep everything as tight as possible. I can also finish off the rear brackets for the side panels and start work on the fuel tanks, which Ill make out of 304 stainless, and the exhaust manifold and system. Again, Ill make them out of 304 stainless.

Pedal box installed. As Ive used a Porsche 911 steering rack and bias brake assembly, Ive made a new steering column to give more clearance for the steering linkage. This might mean a few mods to the battery tray, but it will be a lot safer.

That's brightened my day! Beautiful.
Interesting to see how long the wishbones are, more a surprise at the front than the back, and the choice of heights for the top wishbone inboard mounts.

David, the wishbone positioning, certainly on the front, is to eliminate bump steer. because I've used Alfa 4c front uprights, and a Porsche 911 rack, there was a bit of buggering about to do (technical term) to get the angles right.

had a few hours spare over the weekend, so decided to mock up the rear frame that supports the clam. Ive rose jointed the struts, so I have adjustment when I get round to fitting and altering the bodywork.

started work on the fuel tanks. decided to make them in 304 stainless, 16g. this is the right hand tank, the left is a mirror. ill weld the top on when the fittings arrive,
AN-6 for the fuel lines, and the bosses for the VDO dip tubes. leak tested well, and capacity is 38 litres per tank.

sorry about the photos being the wrong way round. I'm not sure how to alter them.
